WORSE THAN SMALLPOX.
A Great Danger which NIenaces an Unsus-
picious Public.

picious PUBIC.
The Brompton Hospital for consump-
tiyes, in London, reports that over fifty
people out Of every hundred consumptlyes,
are victims of cOnstipated or inactive KID
neys.
Consumption is one Of our national dis
eases, and the above report goes to prove
what has often been said in our columns
during the last eight years, that kidney
| troubles are net only the cause OF more
than half the cases of consumption, but OF
ninety out of every hundred other COM
mon diseases They who have taken this
position, made their claims after elabOr-
ate investigation, and their proof that they
have discovered specific for the terrible
and stealthy kidney diseases, which have
become so prevalent among US, Is wise and
convincing.
We have recently received from them
fresh supply of their wonderful advertising.
They have challenged the medical probes
sion and science to investigate. They have
investigated, and those who are frank have
admitted the truth of their statements.
They claim that ninety per cent. of dis
eases come originally from inactive kidneys;
that these inactive kidneys allow the blood
to become filed with uric acid poison; that
this uric acid poison in the blood carries
disease through every organ.
There Is enough uric acid developed in
the system within twenty-four hours to
kill halfa dozen men.
This being q scientific fact, it requires
only ordinary wisdom to see the effect in
active kidneys must have upon the sys-
TEN.
If this poison is not removed, it ruins
every orgal,. If the bowels, stomach or
liver become inactive, we know 1t at once,
but other organs help them out. If the
kidneys become constipated and dormant,
the warning comes later on, and often
when it is too late, because the effects are
remote from the kidneys and those organs
are not suspected to be out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased are
unable to resist the attacks OF this poison,
and the disease often takes the form of
and is treated as local atfliction, when
in reality the real cause of the trouble was
inactive kidneys
Too many medical men of the present
day hold what was fact twenty years
ago, that kidney disease Is incurable, &C
cording to the medicines authorized by
their code. Hence they ignore the Origi-
nal cause of disease itself and give their
attention to useless treating of local effects
They dose the patient with quinine,
morphine, or with salts and other physics,
hoping that thus nature may cure the dis
ease, while the kidneys continue to waste
away with Inflammation, liberation and
decay, and the victim eventually perishes
The same quantity OF blood that passes
through the heart, passes through the kid
neys. Ii the kidneys are diseased, the
blood soaks up this disease and takes it all
through the system. Hence it is that the
claim is made that Warmers safe cure the
only known specific for kidney diseases,
which is sold so largely by all dealers,
cures 80 per cent. Of human ailments, be-
cause it, and it alone, is able TO maintain
the natural activity of the kidneys, and to
neutralize and remove the uric acid, or
kidney poison, as fast as it is formed.
lfthis acid Is not removed, there is in
activity of the kidneys, and there will be
produced in the system paraly sis, apOpleXy,
dyspepsia, consumption, heart disease,
headaches, rheumatism, pneumonia, i'm
potency, and all the nameless diseases OF
delicate women. If the poisonous matter
is separated from the blood, as fast rs it is
| formed, these diseases, in a majority of
cases, would not exist.
1t only requires a particle of smallpox
virus to produce that vile desease, and the
poisonous matter from the kidneys, pass
ing all through the system and becoming
lodged in different weak points, is equally
destructive, although more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood pass
ing through them goes to the heart and
lungs and other parts of the system, carry
ing this deadly virus with it, all would be-
lieve without hesitation what has so often
been stated in advertisements in these col
umns, that the kidneys are the most i'm
pOrtant organs in the body.
They may regard this article as al adj
vertisement and refuse to believe it, but
that is a matter over which we have no
control Careful investigation and science
itself are proving beyond doubt that this
organ is, in fact, more important than any
other in the system rs q health regulator,
and as such should he closely watched, for
the least sign of disOrdered action.
